Well, the biggest news resulting from the CNN YouTube debate, as evidenced by post-pundit commentary on both CNN and MSNBC, is obviously that Hillary Clinton chose to wear a pink/salmon colored jacket, while her male counterparts wore dark suits. At one point during the apparent fashion showcase John Edwards turned all Robin Givhan on us, remarking that he appreciates Clinton’s service to the country, “but I don’t know about that coat.” Barack Obama later added that he kind of liked the jacket.
Which, of course, got us to thinking: How much does a collared quilted pink suit jacket cost and where does one go about finding one? After an exhaustive online search, we found a style similar to Clinton’s choice on Ebay of all places (see above pic, stage right). It’s not a perfect match, as it’s a little brighter and has a bit of embroidered black detailing, but it would probably work for anyone asked in a pinch to participate in a YouTube debate.
Indeed, the adorable “I Love Lucy”-style swing jacket is in excellent condition and completely lined in “yummy” black satin,” according to its seller. Best of all: It’s only $18.99, plus shipping. So get shopping, future politicos.

FYI, she often wears a blue jacket that looks exactly like the pink one. Pretty mannish to buy one jacket in every color, if you as me.
It’s better than Wendy Vitter’s “ho” dress, hands down.

[…] Breaking news: Hillary is now ahead in the money game in the 3rd quarter by a cool $7 million. This puts her about on par with Mr. Obama overall. I imagine that Mr. Cline will have to resort to astrology to explain why Obama will still win (Mars has eclipsed Venus presaging an Obama victory)! Well, I for one welcome our new pink dress wearing overlords! It is a shame that Mr. Cline’s brain has been reduced to jelly so long before the dawning of that glorious day! […]
